Butterfly on a Flower Coloring Page
One butterfly resting on top of one big flower that stands on plain ground, the butterfly seen from above with its wings spread flat, two big smooth upper wings and two smaller lower wings, each wing marked with three big plain outlined spots, and the flower drawn with six wide rounded petals and one thick straight stem. From the collection Bugs & Butterflies Coloring Pages for Preschoolers.
Built for ages 3 to 5: one clear subject with a few large parts to fill, a 7-point outline that forgives wobbles, and no detail smaller than a crayon tip, so a four-year-old can finish it neatly in one sitting. More for this age: 4 year olds, 5 year olds, kindergarten.
Print at 100% on plain white paper. Free for personal and classroom use under our terms.
How to color it
Start with the biggest area, the butterfly on a flower itself, and use whatever colors your child chooses; there is no wrong answer on a coloring page. Fill it before moving on to the smaller parts.
This is a preschool page with a 7pt outline: thick enough to forgive, with a few distinct areas to fill. Regular crayons or washable markers both work well.
Encourage filling one area at a time before moving on. Ask one open question about the picture rather than correcting colors; an unusual color choice is a good sign of a child making decisions.
